From the forested outer East of Melbourne come Grand Baxter, an alt-folk trio combining earnest songwriting, dense textures of guitar and strings, and a humble country-folk charm. Inspired by James Taylor and Jason Isbell, Grand Baxter exists at the intersection of rock, folk and country, their latest single ‘Magnet’ exhibiting the influence of all with a strong voice of their own.

The brain-child of obsessive singer-songwriter Ben Langdon, Grand Baxter is heavily focused on the song. Their arrangements are dynamic and evocative, informed by their combination of classical and contemporary backgrounds of violinist/mandolinist Dylan Knur and electric guitarist Jack Wieseler. Having performed live together in various arrangements for many years, Grand Baxter has a chemistry and charisma that results in a sound that far exceeds the sum of its three parts.

The band’s latest release ‘Magnet’ delves into the complexities of love and the forces therein, while pushing the boundaries of production so far established for the band. 'Magnet' serves as a compelling preview of Grand Baxter's upcoming EP, 'Silverline' to be released in 2025.
